Introducing the Health Stigma & Discrimination Framework
Join us for a free webinar on Thursday 14 March, 2pm GMT. Stigma is a well-documented barrier to health seeking behaviour, engagement in care, and adherence to treatment across a range of health conditions globally. In order to halt the stigmatisation process and mitigate the harmful consequences of health-related stigma, it is critical to have a theoretical framework to guide intervention development, measurement, research and policy.
In this webinar, Dr Anne Stangl will present a new, global, crosscutting framework that articulates the stigmatization process across a series of domains including: the factors that drive or facilitate health-related stigma stigma ‘marking’ and intersecting stigmas how stigma manifests through experiences and practices outcomes for affected populations, organisations and institutions She will demonstrate the framework’s application to a range of health conditions, including HIV, and show how it can be used to enhance research, programming and policy efforts.
